With Texas A&M having already received 19 early verbal commitments in the class of 2008, the Aggies have set themselves up for their best signing class in years. The A&M coaching staff did their research and were among the first to contact many of the state's top recruits. This includes their lone running back commitment, Aundre Dean.

The 6-foot-1, 201-pound ball carrier from Katy High School was one of the first players at any position to receive an offer, and the Aggies were rewarded when he committed to A&M after an unofficial visit to Oklahoma State. However, there is a new school that has managed to work its way into being considered by Dean.

Dean is committed to Texas A&M, but has an offer and interest in UCLA as well.
